New Delhi, Aug 14 (TIWN): Indian boxers had a fine campaign at the CWG 2022 as they finished second in the boxing medal tally with three gold, one silver and three bronze. However, if one compares it with the 2018 Gold Coast show (then nine medals), the pugilist slipped a bit this time!

The good news is that some young talents managed to impress and could be good future prospects. And bad news is some big names failed, making the Boxing Federation of India a little worried. And why not? Because the federation under Ajay Sing has been working really hard on its boxers with proving all the exposers they need.

Speaking to IANS, a boxing coach on condition of anonymity said that the boxers will have to work really hard if they want to achieve a medal in the Paris Olympics.

“The draw at CWG was comparatively easy. But then also most of our promising boxers failed to have podium finishes. I am not saying that a boxer didn’t work hard but CWG gold is something which gives you confidence that you can do better in Asiad and then Olympics,” the coach said.
